Ashton Gate holds 27,000 and is the largest club rugby ground in England. Bristol Bears share it with Bristol City, whose ground it has been since 1904.
Ashton Gate capacity
Capacity is 27,000 after redevelopment completed in 2016, which rebuilt two stands and pushed the ground past every dedicated Premiership rugby venue.
Who plays at Ashton Gate
Bristol Bears play Premiership rugby here, having moved from the Memorial Stadium in 2014. The pitch takes both football and rugby through the winter.
Crowds
Bristol’s derby fixtures against Bath and Gloucester are the ground’s biggest rugby draws, and the Bears have regularly set Premiership attendance records here.
